This was a beautiful property with a lovely owner. This woman is patient and kind. I was greeted with a kind smile. Given freshly picked berries at my camp site. She helped load/unload both our vehicles. She was quick to respond to any needs and even walked us all the way to the creek when we couldn't find it. And what a sight to see! The reward is waterfalls at the creek. She provided a portable shower and was quite efficient. No cold showers were had here! We had our first batch on firewood on the house, our water jugs were full ready to use, there was a cooking rack for kettles or cooking with pans. She also has a little outhouse right behind the large tent we stayed in with a little hand washing area with toilet paper and wipes provided. This was a humbling trip for me and my kids haha. (8 and 11) My dog waffles though, was in her element herding all her family members up and down the hills. I will definitely return. The host was too lovely not too! If you are a first time camper and are weary Miss DeAnn is the host to have! She helped make our trip.

The views were beautiful! Deann was super sweet and showed us around the property and pointed out the different berries growing along the paths that were safe to eat! It’s a great spot. Just be sure to note whether you need 4WD to reach whichever spot you’re heading to!

Wonderful place to stay for the weekend with a beautiful and scenic view. Plenty of supplies for cooking. Unfortunate that the days landed on a heat wave but De Ann provided fans for us which was much appreciated.

Mountain View Cabin
Beautiful cabin. Live edge everything. Amazing view of Whitehorse Mountain. The host is very nice. The water has a strong sulphur smell and it's very soft, but she provides a big filter thingie.

Mountain View Cabin
Amazing cabin with incredible views! My kids and I absolutely loved our stay. It was much bigger than it looked in the photos and had everything I was hoping for — peaceful nature, quality time to reconnect, and private creek access that was perfect for a cold dip. It completely exceeded my expectations. The host was so kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My kids are already asking when we can come back! 10/10!

DeAnn was a wonderful host, she took me around her property and showed me around the trails and down to the water that runs through. She so kindly moved my reservation to the cabin since no one booked it for the dates I would be there, I appreciate the fully stocked kitchen, it had everything you could possibly need and some. The view from the living room was amazing! She even brought me fresh chicken eggs from a friend for $5! I would highly recommend staying here. DeAnn is such a sweetheart!

Mountain View Cabin
Impeccable views from the cabin. Comfortable and clean. The wood stove kept the cabin toasty on a chilly night. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, teas and spices. There is a delightful collection of Buddhist texts to peruse, which pairs very well with the clean mountain air.
We had a lovely stay.
I will say that sound travels extremely easily through the house, so bring a fan or white noise machine if you are a light sleeper. (Though when the weather is warmer you'll be able to open the windows and hear the sound of the nearby creek)

Jaw dropping! The climb is steep so be prepared with a good vehicle! Every detail of the house is spectacular! The master bed could use a little help in the comfort but we slept in the living room for sunrise!!!!

The reviews don't lie: this place is a gem and DeAnn is a sweetheart! We only stayed for one night, but it was exactly what we needed. Even on a cloudy day, we could bask in Whitehorse Mt and Three Finger Mt as the sun set. The house is cozy, well-stocked, and with a great location. Hope to return someday!

DeAnn is simply amazing and so is her gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 story cabin! I highly recommend this place to everyone who loves being outdoors or in, with a spectacular view of the mountains and a creek on the property! We absolutely loved the wood burning fireplace that warmed both stories perfectly! The couch is super comfortable and it reclines as well! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and if it’s not there, you can run to the store 10 minutes away or DeAnn might even offer it to you if you ask! She is honestly the sweetest, generous, kind, friendly woman I’ve met in a long time! She makes you feel at home in every way! My kids and best friend can’t wait to go back, we miss it so much already, 2 days wasn’t enough at all! Thank you, DeAnn for being the nicest person on earth, and for blessing us with a super late check out for my son’s 21st birthday! We can’t wait to see you again and look forward to the hike down to the creek together again, what an amazing memory!

De Ann’s property was such a beautiful place, we had such a great time chatting with her about the land and exploring it. Her Cabin was so beautiful with such an incredible view. We truly had one of the most relaxing stays here.

Mountain View Cabin
A wonderful stay. The site is gorgeous. There's a really nice mountain scenery that can be enjoyed directly from the comfort of the living room. There's a wood stove that creates a great atmosphere and helps keeps the cabin very warm. As a bonus, theres plenty of wood to chop outside if you'd like to try that. (There's also already chopped wood so it's not necessary to do it). De Ann was a wonderful host and stopped by to say hi. She was very accommodating to our schedule too.

We loved staying here! We enjoyed using the well-stocked kitchen, stocking the wood-burning stove, and enjoying the views from the backyard. Highly recommend.

I was at the Mountain retreat with my daughter and 12-year-old grandson. We were all awed by the home, the views, and the sense of beauty. DeAnn made sure we were settled in and let us know she was available quickly if we needed her help.
This home provided just what we needed. We had space for our alone times, great cooking and eating together times, and space to hang out together.

Such a beautiful cabin, we stayed there with our in laws in the fall and it was so cozy. The view is stunning and so much space for our dogs to run around and play! Loved the wood burning stove, kept the place so toasty and with the rain it was such a vibe. Would absolutely be back! The host was so kind and responsive as well- she lended us whatever we needed and helped us get the fire going in the cabin.

Our trip was exceptional :) We booked the Bell Tent very last minute and DeAnn was still incredibly accommodating. We arrived to a clean, well-kept site (and well-stocked, there’s dry firewood for sale if you need). DeAnn made sure to show us around her beautiful property and also gave us helpful tips on how to get down to the creek and where else to explore. The property is huge, and while the owners are on-site it still feels very secluded and private. The views of the mountains were incredible, the creek nearby (if you don’t mind getting muddy) was a fun walk away and was so vibrant! Also, the outhouse was much more convenient than expected :) DeAnn has thoroughly thought out how she hosts and the results are evident. If you book here, expect a private and comfortable experience!

Large tent with mountain view
The site had a great view of the cascade mountains. A few things to consider are that the tent already setup in the nicest site (with respect to the view) was very big (could easily sleep 6-8 people). The other thing was the roads getting there and back do get somewhat challenging to maneuver; there’s not really much space around the site to turn around as it’s perched on the side of a fairly steep hill. There’s a stream but it’s down in a valley and it wasn’t made clear to me whether there was a safe way to get to it. My favorite amenities included that the campsite is an off-leash dog area and the outdoor stove and fire areas were setup nicely.

We absolutely loved this property. De Ann was a fantastic host and quickly responded to any questions we had. The view at this cabin is amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice. I enjoyed being able to have a fire outside and just take in all the natural beauty. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

DeAnn has such a beautiful piece of land, we really enjoyed our time there! She met us upon arrival and since we were the only campers (she has a few sites on her property) she gave us a full tour and upgraded our stay to the yurt site too- highly recommend! The views are spectacular, it’s secluded and peaceful and each site has an ample amount of privacy. There is an adrenaline pumping hike down to the creek, so fun! The yurt site has running water too which was a nice touch. Loved spending time with the doggies that were visiting there! Close to some beautiful hiking trails as well.

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. The large tent was so great and made it so much easier to get set up for the night. DeAnn was warm and welcoming, showed us around and was a delight to chat with. We will definitely be back and are excited to see how this camping oasis grows and expands in the coming years.

Great weekend with our teens and our pup at DeAnn’s cabin. The first night we fell asleep to the sound of rain on the skylights and slept with the windows cracked. It was phenomenal! DeAnn’s cabin has everything one could need for a long weekend. We cooked and baked in the kitchen and had campfires for smores. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway while still being close enough to grab any groceries you may have forgotten this is the place. Looking forward to our next stay!
